And what is the advantage of this? If a certain type of file is only obtained 
via Add Ons, it may make sense to put them in a dedicated folder. However, if 
the same type of file is sometimes obtained via Add Ons and sometimes copied 
onto the device using Files, they end up in different folders, and the only 
way for users to move them to the same folder is by using Konsole or 
installing Dolphin.
